A worthwhile look at how contemporary designers handle type and solve the problem of how to make their designs stand out. What I found interesting about the contents is the wide range of material, obviously actual printed matter, like magazines and books but also packaging, cans, bottles, candy packs and boxes, street posters and outside display material (quite a lot of this) trademarks and how they are used commercially.
As the title of the book suggests, most of the pages show examples of typography rather than type used with illustrations and photography and this is why the work stands out, it's rather unusual for commercial art to solve a design concept just using type. The book is an obvious buy for design colleges and design companies.
